He becomes “Jan Tartu,” a member of the Rumanian Iron Guard. But when his contacts are destroyed, his disguise may get him killed by the very underground group he needs to succeed! Robert Donat, Valerie Hobson, and Glynis Johns star in this tale of action and intrigue from director Harold S. Bucquet (Dragon Seed, Without Love).
Director: Harold S. Bucquet

I think these old warm films should be broadcast more widely so that the ignorant and complacent can understand what we are threatened with by todays political landscape and what outstanding individual bravery and sacrifices has saved us, thus far.
Thus far.. 🤞
I'm hoping that the youth in America will become educated by the showing of these old movies about WWII.
Youth are busy with TikTok, selfies and the amount of “likes”. If 5% of today’s youth learn from history, maybe we have a chance.
@@rabit818.. on purpose, by design. They push tiktok so hard, it's sickening.
This film is not historic. The only ones who made weapons to be used on civilians were and ARE the :West:.
Robert Donat was the best British actor of his generation. He had amazing range and came across as a kind of English middle class every-man. It didn't matter the genre, he was natural and convincing. Brilliant actor, one of a kind, irreplaceable & greatly missed. He left a hole bigger than that "two thousand pounder" would have made had he not defused it. A great little film, thanks for posting.
I remember an anecdote about Alan Bates after he played in Zorba the Greek movie, when Sir Laurence Olivier said that Alan Bates is one of the best actors of the young generation. A reporter asked Bates what hw thinks about what Laurence said and his answer was: who am I to contradict Sir Laurence!?. We all know the the Brits have the best schools for acting in the English speaking world!
Donat could have been an even bigger star but asthma & other health issues held him back. Don't forget Leslie Howard, whose career was tragically cut short by his death during WWII, he'll always be remembered for his Ashley Wilkes in GWTW, he also made Bogart a star by insisting he repeat their Broadway roles together in movie of Petrified Forest.
He was actually, Donat, Prussian, Polish, and French and English. He sounded like a very 30s English man (with that almost Cockney twang,as Orwell called it, which Churchill had).
Charles Laughton, Alec Guinness...
Agree he was best actor for me x
REST IN PEACE GLYNIS JOHNS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderfully made film! So many sacrificed their very lives to bring freedom to others! God bless each and every one! I only hope I could be as brave against evil
Robert Donat may not have made as many films as some of his leading man-contemporaries, but every one that I've seen has been great entertainment: 39 Steps, Count of Monte Cristo, Ghost Goes West, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Young Mr. Pitt, The Winslow Boy*, his early appearance as Thomas Culpeper in The Private Life of Henry VIII, and now this. What a talent!
Not forgetting The Winslow Boy
@@merlinhotspurs Noted, and added*!
A knight without armor 5 stars.
@@nickdonovan1447 Thanks for turning me onto this film, I'd never heard of it before, and just watched it. What a superb production. Love the understated chemistry between Donat and Dietrich, with a gem of a performance from a young John Clements; think I even spotted character actor Peter Bull in a bit part, must've been one of his first movies. The production credits blew me away: directed by Jacques Feyder, Frances Marion screenplay from a James Hilton book, Miklos Rosza music, and Jack Cardiff behind the lens. 5 stars, indeed!
@@karenfritsche2249 It's hard to pick a favorite film of Donat's, but Knight without armor ranks very highly on my list.I am so glad that you liked it too!
Thank you so much for that great movie...
I hadn't recognized Robert Donat at first, I remember him from "The 39 steps"...
That movie had everything in it : A great story, great actors, romance and the last 30 minutes totally look like a Bond movie 21 years earlier...
Thanks again 🙂🙂
same here, i saw Donat in 39 steps and was mesmerized by his performance.
Really enjoyed this Film today and then learnt within an hour of watching it Glynis Johns had passed away😢 R.I.P
Great to see this fine movie again. Robert Donat has been on my top 10 actors list ever since old Classics were available.
Mine too. Goodbye Mr. Chips sold me on Mr. Donat, and ever since, I’ve tried to see all his movies. This is one , of many I’m sure, I missed. Until now. ❤️ I LOVED this movie.
Robert Donat his charming self and Valerie Hobson just lovely. Great story, thanks for uploading.
An absolute tour de force by Robert Donat! Brilliantly entertaining and hilariously funny at times. Reminded me of 'Allo 'Allo! Amazing film.
Wonderful film, only it broke my heart when little Pavla was shot. Robert Donat and Valerie Hobson were marvellous. Thank you for posting this!
Spoilers, spoilers...
Its good every time I watch it. Donat was marvelous, always.
Next time I come into this room I might even take off my hat. - What a great line!!! Well delivered!!
We were so lucky having such wonderful British actors. Robert Donat, Ronald Coleman, James Mason (silky voice) and the beautiful Vivian Leigh💫
James Mason, love him.
@@nelsonx5326 I adore him in "A Touch of Larceny"; so sublimely self-assured!
Absolutely loved him in the film. The 39 steps. .
I truly enjoy watching Robert Donat. He made too few films and I've enjoyed each and everyone I've seen. I think "That Winslow Boy" and "The 39 Steps" are phenomenal and the "The Magic Box" is superb. But without a doubt his transformation in age in "Goodbye Mr. Chips" is my absolute favorite. I see a great similarity between the British actor Robert Donat and the American actor Paul Muni ("The Story of Louis Pasteur", "Hudsons Bay," "The Life of Emile Zola", and "Juarez" as examples). Both would get deeply involved in portraying the character and have their performance further amplified by costume and make-up. Likewise, both actors made very few films, but all (or at least most) are extremely memorable and excellent. This would have made a great serial of various "spy adventures."
Two wonderful actors. Mini and Donat. The best of the best.
I love your response so many wonderful British actors Thanx
I agree and your critic is superb.
@@christenasmalls6118, thank you kindly for your generous words and compliment.
I think Donat and Laughton will have to have a fight to see who is the ‘GOAT’
Wonderful film filled with talented character actors/actresses, like the sweet woman who plays Donat's mother, and a very young Glynis Johns. There are so many lovely moments, and so much quiet emotion in these quaint old movies from an innocent time; modern-day ones can't hold a candle to them.
Try a Knight without armor if you haven't already, it's one of my favorite movies.
Glynis died just a few days ago .
1943 movie. Glynis Johns died this week, Jan/2024 at age 100.
Donat another great British actor.
I think it's in their DNA
Wonderful movie great actor..
Love all his movies.
Never heard of this. What a wonderful little gem.
"Little?" Sure, you gest!
@@TalentedDilittante Hey, its British, I'm american. Most of us have never heard of this movie. It ain't big budget like Gone With The Wind, so it's a "little" gem.
Sorry--not "arrogant," merely ignorant (without knowledge, without experience).
@@TalentedDilittante Good movie though.
💎
Much better than I expected. In fact, quite an excellent film. Thanks.
Always a fan of Tartu since childhood.
Wonderful. Donat was excellent in 39 Steps, and brings same charm here. Plot credible and acting superb.
The sets of the lab/factory at 1 hour 30 are remarkably well-done.
Truly great Robert Donat performance!!!😃
Great ending. All too often, spy movies end tragically. During WWII, when intelligence outfits like the OSS, precursor of the CIA, were recruiting specially qualified citizens for dangerous foreign espionage assignments, they certainly didn't want their agents being portrayed as having no chance to survive. In this movie, the underground people were correct to order Maruschuka (Hobson) out of the country since it was likely everyone who lived in that house where the uncompleted emergency phone call was made from would be killed - and she would be tortured into giving up the underground people.
An absolutely wonderful film, wonderful cast and plot. Thank you for uploading.
There are qualities in good films that are evident even over decades. Times change snd styles in acting change . Good is good. Please note Glynnis John’s excellent performance.
Excelente me encanta qué película tan lograda y eso qué es en inglés
She'll be 💯 years young on the 5 October 2023.... Happy birthday Miss🙏✌️💪🇬🇧💯
One of the best WWII Spy movies!!!
Such a good film, two great actors. Thank you.🇬🇧❤️
My favourite Robert Donat film is "Goodbye Mr. Chips".
I liked 39 steps although of course Mr. Chips is up there too.
39 Steps is a 10
Mine is “The Ghost Goes West.”
You would like a knight without armor
Don't miss The citadel, Knight without armour, the count of Montecristo and The Winslow boy! I love every movie he was in!!!❤
Happy, happy birthday dearest Glynis Johns, Grand Dame of British and Hollywood cinema and theatre. Congratulations on reaching the B I G 1 0 0 ! ! ! Thank you for all the wonderful hours of joy and entertainment you have brought to me and to thousands of your adoring fans.
Enjoy a glorious day. May you be blessed with many more years of good health and happiness. With lots of love!

Excellent film.
Robert Donat was an amazing actor.
That final sabotage scene reminds me of a James Bond movie or Stars Wars running around the Death Star with the Nazis playing the stormtroopers.
Loved it! Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼
I like the shadow of the Crucifix on the wall in the young girl’s bedroom. It meant she was about to die
He was great in 39 Steps. Valerie is incomparably the exemplar of British feminine beauty and class.
Some of these adventures were to hard to take. They pulled on our heart strings during difficult times in Milan.
This film is full of good things, Robert Donat and Valerie Hobson especially, but for me is dominated by a performance of emotional power by a very young Glynis Johns. Absolutely unforgettable.
Still with us, on the 5th of October 2023 she'll be 💯 years young..
I agree with your comment 👍 her farther was a fine actor to🤩🎭💯🇬🇧🆘
Sadly she passed away today😢
@@paulmarshall8774 Thanks, I hadn’t heard.
I love this thriller spy movie. Robert Donat gives an excellent performance as Jan Tartu.
"Next time I come into this room, I might even take off my hat." Saw this 'line' mentioned already within the comments section but wanted type out myself b/c it's so uniquely clever. I love it.
?
@@edwardcheok9750 What's your question? Can't read minds.
Great WW 2 movie. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I so enjoyed this! How poignant it is at this moment. I visited Prague not many years after the velvet revolution, my goodness the Czechs have some grit.. all the old Soviet underground trains were made like tanks - rather comfortable too. Everyone had a story to tell, you could taste the optimism in the very air.. ❤ Czechia!
How Western civilization has fallen since these heroes
Couldn’t agree more chief,diversity is not a strength,good luck anyway
Don't be so naive. Loads of the ARP and Bobbies robbed the houses and allotments they were supposed to be protecting and the Spivs......heard of them? There was loads wrong in wider society too. Life has always been rubbish.
@@theonlyantony That was no doubt true, but obviously the exception, not the rule. You're a cynic who defames the British people.
So he blows up the chemical plant and...duh....he releases tons of various poison gasses and/or tons of toxic chemicals and then then what? He saves many English lives but, er, there's hundreds of local lives lost because of the agents and raw materials released. But that's just eastern euro types so let's skip over that "little" reality. Sure there's admiration for the Czech underground. But there's ALSO the attitude that local lives are less important than those of British civilians
I've e seen a lot of committed talented caring young people. One of which a nephew waiting to get into officers school but went in as a private and quickly become a Sargent.
I remember watching this film as a teenager and thought it an excellent movie. Good acting from all of the cast.
Another British film good cast
Great movie.
Glynis Johns died today.RIP.She was young in this film.
Thank you for posting... enjoyed the movie. Since, I have found and bought the DVD and added to my collection -- only sad thing is that there were no further adventures of tartu 😢
Enjoyed this film thank you
This must be my third time watching! Great film!
Don't you just adore Robert Donat? Still makes me swoon. The cad!
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Oh, who wouldn't!
Excellent movie and enjoyable, worth seeing multiple times.
Great film! Thanks for sharing. ❤🎉😊
Wonderful movie. Robert Donat is so charming and quite the gentleman, he reminds me of William Powell. Glynis Johns was such a delight. I remember her in Mary Poppins.
I'm almost sure Glynis johns is still with us, In her 90s though. Lovely lady.
Donat was half-Polish and lived in Manchester: he suffered from asthma which curtailed his acting career and eventually killed him in 1958.
I love this movie I have it and have watched it several times.
Possums, that what a great movie. Donat was delightfully camp in parts.
Remember seeing this movie before and it still is very excellent. Robert Donat is a very skilled actor and have enjoyed him in another film involving foreign travel. Love these old black and white movies. Joe S
US version was Sabotage Agent can be seen on TCM now and again. My favorite Donat Film is 39 Steps.
And mine is - Knight without Armour ;-)
The Ghost Goes West
A great film indeed.
1938 movies were truly interesting. Black & White movies weren't so bad! Very enjoyable to watch these stories
So bad? B & W films are THE BOMB!!!
No way, they are closest to historical record 💯🇬🇧🆘 alot better than Holly-Weird has to offer on the history of the time we live NOW 🆘🎬🤩🎭🇬🇧
People moaning about lockdown should watch this!
what your point You agree with the lockdown. I would not go to war with you
Wait when you get hit with the "clean up" bill. Then you'll definitely moan about the lockdowns.
Thank you , I enjoyed watching it. Robert Donat at his best again🤩❣
I love donat.
Thanks for the movie 😎
I love Valerie Hobson since I been watching movies here a couple years
Valerie Hobson who played the lead actress was married to John Profumo in real life. He was a member of Parliament and had to resign because of a sex scandal with Christine Keeler, known as the Profumo Affair.
Good movie thank for the upload
Wonderful. We need to know what people went through during that awful wT. Thank you
How is it I never saw this before always watched his movies on TV?
It's a long way from Mary Poppins! What a career Glynis!
A little gem, though from the escape sequence from the factory on, a bit over the top. Historical note: the Nazis stockpiled nerve gas during the war, but Hitler refused to allow it to be used, even when Germany started losing the war. Britain also stockpiled chemical weapons, but Churchill's policy was Britain would not use them first.
This is the 3rd or 4th time i've watched this film (masterpiece!)...and, i love it more each time. Many thanks!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice one.
its a kind of impossible adult fairytale ... Robert Donat is a fine actor probably 50 years ahead of his time
This is a very good spy movie!!!
There were two versions of this movie. Recut for the american market and the original English version.They are noticeably different. See if you can find the other version. Donant was highly regarded in his day, but acted very little - after the 1940's- because of health reasons.
RG: Do you know which version this is?
This is the english version. The recut version is hard to find, but it is out there.
@@r.g.8977 Thanks for the heads up
Donat
Thank you to upload
Did she get her dad's factory back when the war ended
Thank you my kind of film
Donat❤️💯👏🏽
Really nice movie, well done!! Tanks so much!
They need to record these great old movies at a higher volume. I had to turn off the A/C to even barely hear this one.
Robert Donat is amaaaazing, every bit as charismatic as Brad Pitt, Robert Deniro, or Tom Cruise. (Growing up, I'd never seen Glynis Johns as a young woman in movies; also a wonderful actress.)
PLZ! NO reference to that Scientology Nut, Tom Cruise.
@@MichaelGunner123 So, you judge all human beings, not by their accomplishments and positive character, but by their flaws of little note or importance, though triumphantly pointed out by "Christian" American bigots and"woke" prudes who are spiritual descendants of those who burned "witches" and heretics? (I suppose your ilk will never die out.)
This movie deserves a remake so that way people can understand but it needs to say true to this story into the undertone of what the movie was trying to tell us so that way we can compare the two no need to change things only change a few little things
love the older movies
always a good story
Great movie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome, just awesome.
Very good film.
In this movie is a sweetie that is still with us, and has been in many a movie..💓🆘🎭💰🧐💋🗣️📢🎬😍🙏😁🤫 so on the 5th of October 2023 everyone say a happy 💯 Birthday GLINIS JOHNS. LONDONS THINKING OF YOU💋🥂👁️💥👁️💪🎬😅😏
🇬🇧🎭🤩⚖️💋💯
A good actor and a nice person ❤liked.😊
5+ stars. Brilliant!
Special effects were great for the time
A writer has a strong original idea for a movie. In n order for it to have any chance of getting made he needs to get commissioned to write the n script by a producer of some kind. He n writes a “treatment” which summarises the story and starts approaching producers. They all turn it down for one reason or another. Eventually he gets his commission and a much altered version of what he n wrote opens in cinemas. At roughly the same time three or four other films with very similar plots also open, and everyone says what a weird world the creative arts belong in that they can have coincidences like that.
Good movie even though its old and not modern.
The Romanian Iron Guard shocked even the Nazi's by their enthusiastic and vigorous imprisonment and slaughter of Romanian Jews. (I'm always impressed by British wartime films. They couldn't have had much money or time for that matter.)
Old movie but Good movie
Glynis Johns just turned 100 year old!
Nice movie.....👍
Glynis Johns is still living. A hundred years old or so.
Cool movie 😎
